Day 8 - Goodbye Kauai, Hello Tahiti

Today is all about transitioning from Kauai to French Polynesia. To do so, we have to take an interisland flight from Kauai to Oahu and then take another flight from Oahu directly to Papeete, Tahiti. The flight from Oahu to Tahiti is about five hours, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Due to our late arriving flight from Oahu, we'll spend our first night at the Intercontinental in Tahiti and then take another interisland flight over to Bora Bora tomorrow morning. Today is going to be a long day, but at least we'll be staying in the same time zone, so we won't be zombies tomorrow morning. Wow. We're waking up in TAHITI tomorrow!

Here are a few parting shots of our Kauai house for you to enjoy. The first one is of the baby albatross that's been living in our front yard. We named him Baby Huey (short for Hubert) because he is one big baby.


These shots are of our resident cardinals. We've had daily visits from one northern cardinal and two red crested cardinals, so we named them Larry, Darryl and Darryl. We didn't manage to catch Darryl and Darryl together in a picture, but they would gang up on Larry all the time.


Finally, here's one last sunrise shot from the patio. Simply breathtaking, isn't it?


Well, we're off to finish packing and check out of our house. We'll do our best to keep our blog up to date while we're in Tahiti and Bora Bora, but we think access will be a challenge. We'll see.

Aloha Kauai ... Ia Orana Tahiti!
